Even jobs then were not empowering. It was exploitative and dangerous. Staying home with kids was a way to protect women. Women were later asked to work not to empower but to bring more tax to the government. Even then, men worked 12hrs and women 8hrs.
They couldn't cope like men. When you read books like Becoming, you see Michelle Obama talk about how the job destroyed her father till he died. Movies like Fences shows the trauma these men battled with.
You can sit your sorry privileged ass in 2021 spitting gender nonsense...
But to people that lived then, a working man was a broken father, husband, brother. Job related accidents were high and many lost limbs and died.
Men didn't build economies by lamenting. They build it with sweat and death - at the expense of relationship with their family.
The system has always been the government/elite against the masses not men against women. These men were victims of the government and they worked 12 hrs for crumbs.
Today, there are women in government and they are still oppressing all of us. One day, you go get sense.

My fellow patriarchs:
I tweet here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the cosmic trust on our masculinity.
I am thankful for the sacrifice patriarchs before us who through hard labour, minimum wage, indefatigable zeal and will power to leave behind a better world than they met, built economies, changed the global order, protected our women and ensured the continuation of mankind.
For months on end, we have been plagued with accusations as oppressors, labeled as misogynists and asked to emasculate ourselves for a set of people who need a victimhood agenda in place to feed and sustain their relevance.
